The Jordan vs Kobe Debate
Kobe was nothing like Mike even the Kobe comparison to Mike the tough conversation then becomes when we say we’ve never seen anybody like Mike and we never will and we throw Kobe in there the real conversation is this no we’ve never seen anything like Mike Kobe was nothing like Mike the only things that Kobe resembled from Mike was Mike second threepiece Kobe was not even capable to compare 84 Mike 85 mik 86 7 8 9 10 1 2 he that wasn’t that’s Jordan was not even capable of being reached so when people say he’s a carbon copy of Michael Jordan please just say the old when he was on his three p run because you think about putting them against the 80 Michael Jordan it wouldn’t be no competition with that man
Gilbert Arenas has the Michael Jordan vs Kobe Bryant debate. He says that Michael Jordan was far above Kobe Bryant. To compare the two you must be looking at Jordan after he came back into the league. Because what MJ did with the Chicago Bulls during the 80s and 90s no one can compare to. Even the great Kobe Bryant pails in comparisons to the accomplishments he had. Put anyone in the NBA against Prime Jordan and they would lose according to Gil on the Gil’s Arena podcast.
Gil’s Arena premieres every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at 11:30am PT / 2:30pm ET.

I love Kobe, he is my GOAT but the 80's and the first 3 peat Jordan cannot be copied.
BIG FACTS GILL U ON POINT 💯
Facts
Yeh Mike is in his own class
Kobe was horrible his first year Mike was already all-star ready
If I went out and bought the same shoes as my brothers shoes it will never mean I’m like my brother, it simply means we have on the same shoes.
I’ll take 81 Kobe
I personally think people should just leave the mamba alone he was great too just let him rest In peace
I respectfully disagree with never seeing anybody like Mike. Kobe studied and copied Mike to the point where you can put clips of them side by side and Kobe looks like Mike's SHADOW.
This is a terrible take….he was definitely Like Mike….80s Jordan was playing vs scrubs! He wouldn't have done that in the 2000s…
Scotty pipen was the closest to Michael jordan in my eyes
Excellent point. When Jordan was getting pounded by Pistons in late 80’s and still dropping huge numbers on their #1 defense, well, he was in a class of one.
Agent Zero always coming up with goose egg. Still think MJ is the best. Kobe is 1B to MJ’s 1A.
Delusional Michael Jordan won nothing during the 80s Kobe won NBA title his forth season in the league
Kobe score 81 points
Facts ,thats the first thing u said i ever agreed with!😅😅
Gil has some silly opinions
idk how you can say kobe was nothing like mike lol…
finally gil said some truth and not bS
Kobe was similar in that he was a killer. He was clutch. Other than that, quite different players. Both great, just different.
MJ was clearly the best player in the league for a decade and won 5 MVPs (should have won 6 or 7). Kobe was never CLEARLY the league's best player and won 1 MVP. How the fuck is this even a debate? He's not even his decade's (2000's) best player, that would be Duncan.
Kobe was better than anybody else not named Michael Jordan tho
I’m not going to lie. I’m tired of hearing this guy. And he be really tricking y’all into thinking he’s saying something smart. Kobe play exactly like Jordan. He just don’t jump as high as him.
Ooooooooo, that's a Hater!!! Hahaha
Lol that’s why he’s a carbon copy NOT a clone 😅
Weak argument. Kobe was better. If Kobe played in the 80's Mike wouldn't be Mike today.
For those not understanding he basically saying kobe got mike post up n midrange game. Not the young athletic mike twisting in the air n shit😂
I'm sorry you drop 60 on Kobe Mr 81 is hard to deal with 💯💪🔥 an you know that Gill
Their dedication to the sport is the biggest resemblance comparable 🏀
Nah Kobe is up there with Mike 🐍=🐐 like it’s been said cut from the same cloth. I hope Ant is from this cloth we will see though….tbd
He's Finally Accurate ✔️
This big fool what this fool he ain't shit he ain't even top 40 player all-time michael jordan himself said the mamba was better than him of course Gilbert strait bullshit would say kobe was nothing like mile because he sucked how long was arenas in the league and how many championship he has none he aint broke no records no mvps this dude is delusional
Love kobe but he was never near jordan …..
I got no problem with your argument/opinion Gil…..with that being said I neva wanna hear you bring Lebron into the debate conversation again. Ever. Period. End of discussion. Good day Sir.
Love I mean I love Jordan but bean put in 81 pts. And then his last game drops 60?!? Also have u typed in Kobe highlights wearing #8 because I think you forgot what the kid with the Afro did to anybody who tried to challenge him at the rim!!
Wow, that was some really insightful analysis
THANK YOU GIL!!! 1,000,000,000 %. THERE'S ONLY A SELECT FEW. THAT ARE BETTER THAN ALL THE STORIES. LIKE WHEN PEOPLE USED TO COMPARE BRUCE LEE TO ACTUAL FIGHTER. ALL HYPE. NOW, WITH JORDAN. ALL FACTS,AND MOST OF HIS PEERS THAT PLAYED AGAINST BOTH. THE OVERWHELMING MAJORITY AGREE.
First of all Kobe didn’t get the chance in his early years secondly when Shaq came Kobe was the number 2 option. Not to mention Kobe got robbed out of 3 mvp’s
